Most of the breaks that I play are from cross the pond.. UK knows whats up with the breaks.

I think you started a little late by opening at '89 (Steinski etc ?) but that Silver Bullet track is a classic slice of UK hip hop circa late 80's.Leftfields Phat Planet ? awesome.Nice post.New DJs need to know their history, it's part of the path.

can u do sum vids on music that was part of the 80's 90's rave scene, like acid house or happy hardcore or breakbeat hardcore or jungle etc.

very memorable Robocop sample from the movie at the start of that track! Breakbeat rules! Breakbeat Kaos - english record label! want more of this? google 'breakbeat kaos'! some massive tunes released on this label. they also do drum n bass and dubstep.

favourite breakbeat tune so far: Back Up - Krafty Cutz rmx <<<< check it out y'all

That leftfield track is sick.

Great vid! I mix a lot and I played at a few party's, I think I'll get me some more old breakbeat to add some variation to my sets.

It's getting really easy to get lost in all the sub-genres... when I listen to breakbeat I hear Jungle and Minimal DnB but I guess it needs is own title.

Thanks for sharing mate.

You got it wrogn i think - The "Amen" sample is a base for jungle/hardcore stream. Breakbeak however is more calm and little bit funky.

The roots are definetly come from funk music, but also has been twisted in more gray and stiff direction by the sound of evolving electronic music. PS: i started an Facebook group called "Real breakbeat Hardcore" that is dealing only with breakbeat, not jungle,drum and bass or breaks - in there you will see almost none of the Amen usage.

whats so nice about breakbeat is that it puts all the different EDM genres into one beat.Which is why IMIO breakbeat is key for mixing in variety. You can stay on the same beat but have things from dubstep, electro, dnb, everythin

[wildman2782]

Yeah the break beat started with a track in 1969 called amen brother by the winstons. There's a whole historical video on it here at you tube. It's really interesting for DJ's.
